How It Works
The system ingests for major market-moving events as its primary data source. The analytics engine aggregates data across sources, applies statistical analysis to identify significant patterns and outliers, and presents the results through visualizations that highlight what needs attention. The output — scenario analyses for major market-moving events — surfaces in the existing workflow where the practitioner can review and act on it.

You still form the market view that drives trading decisions, make judgment calls about report accuracy, and decide when to be aggressive vs. cautious in the market.
